I can't believe the Tigers fleeced the Marlins like they did.
Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis for Maybin and Miller. Maybin has finally turned into at least a decent big league player, but not for the Marlins.
Willis flopped out, but still, that was just an incredible trade.
With Pujols finally slowing down, Cabrera's taken over the mantle of best hitter in the game from him.

I'm a Reds fan and those damn Pirates are pesky. I see them finally breaking .500 for the first time in 50 years. Their a good team.

And I am saying that this weekend will not help their cause. Angels on a high from last night's (twice) 7 run deficit vs Felix the Cat and the Mariners. Bourgos batting .345 (needs more at bats since he wasn't playing with a Hammy issue), Kendrick batting .330 and Trout bumping his average to .317 after going 4 for 4 last night. Now if only Hamilton could have joined the fun as he went 0 for 4 with a double play and strikeout. He is close to dipping below .200 . If this doesn't get him to drink, nothing will or he is already drinking and why he is sucking eggs.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers have designated reliever Jose Valverde for assignment, less than two months after bringing the veteran right-hander back to the major leagues for another chance to be the team's closer.

Valverde went 0-1 with a 5.59 ERA, converting nine saves in 12 chances. The Tigers will likely use Joaquin Benoit in most save situations for the time being.

what a ****ing bad post! Up 3 runs in the top of the 9th, we are on the verge of losing and taking at least 1 game in this series. JB Shuck ****s up on two plays to have Pirates tie it up. 4 runs now in the 10th inning. Nice pitching and fielding Shuck who helped give up some more runs while mishandling a single. UGH!
